In our dining hall they have fries, hashbrowns, chips, roasted potatoes, latkes, wedges, and baked potato bars, depending on the day. I would say that potatoes make up about 25-30% of my diet over here.

I have never seen the Iraqis serve potatoes, though they like chips when I bring them.

eta: and mashed! every day. and scalloped sometimes. I miss tots and curly fries.

Oh man, I miss latkes. I've never seen a latke here at all, let alone a vegan one (apart from the testers I made once). I know they were shiitake, but I would kill for one of those mixes you can get in the store (though I can't remember if they were vegan). If I had a food processor with a shredding blade, I'd be eating latkes all the damn time. They might vie with tots for my affection.
